Walked down to La Playita restaurant for a seafood dinner. Our last dinner here, we’re leaving tomorrow. It has a lovely view of the beach and ocean. Shirlee treated us. I had fish and they had shrimp. Thank you.

Lovely dinner, our last, in this welcoming and beautiful place of Puerto Morelos.

Cenotes are underground rivers of fresh water. Some are open like a pond, other cenotes are a river in a cave. They were used my the ancient Mayans for a fresh water source and for religious ceremony.

Open type of cenote

The company that took us to Cenote Zapote was a tour company named Eclipse Adventures. The owners are Abril and Shianne. They were excellent guides!

Jumping into cenote from platform.

Shirlee made a friend of a dragon fly. It would leave her hand, fly a short distance from her and return to her hand.

Zip line into Cenote. Ksaey went first, then Shirlee (above), then me, Ann.

Anticipation!

Back to shore and pier, Fabulous, inspirational day!

Entrance into the cave and underground river.

It’s really beautiful, has a spiritual feeling.

We snorkeled in the river around the cave.

The stone work every is very impressive.

Abril and Shianne, our guides from Eclipse Adventures. They’re great! I’ll use them again next year.

Served us buffet lunch after visiting the cenotes.

Tacos with beans and rice. Tasty!

Kandi, my daughter, and her friend Shirlee arrived on Saturday morning.

They arrived in the morning. We went to my favorite breakfast place, El Nicho.

Food was really good! It taste very homemade and fresh ingredients.

I had an omelet with tomato and goad cheese. YUM!

Welcome to Puerto Morelos!

After breakfast, we took a walk around the central downtown, the Plaza area. First visit to the pier.

Favorite ice cream shop, ALDO’s. It’s lovely to walk down in the evening and have an ice cream cone. Their ice cream is really good!

The catholic church on the plaza.

Next checking out a massage on the beach. It’s $40. US for an hour.

Waiting for massage. It’s really windy. As were waiting, the sand was blowing on us….an air exfoliation.

They loved it. A relaxing way to start vacation. Chill out time in the evening.

This is Easter weekend, For Catholics, it’s the end of Lent. Everyone, it seems, were having a party. Casa Velero guests were too. They stayed up most of the night. The guy on the right in the pool, had a beautiful voice, with both opera and pop music.

All weekend there was a fiesta, with food, and and arts and crafts fair. It included music. Most of the foreigners are from Canada.
